Benefits of technology

Enables quick, precise, and cost-effective replacement of labeling aggregates, reducing setup time and financial burdens by allowing automatic orientation and centering, and eliminating the need for complex height adjustment mechanisms.

Problems solved by technology

With this construction, it is time consuming and difficult to exchange labeling aggregates.
Moreover, such labeling machines occupy a relatively large space, because of the large table plate.
Nevertheless, this embodiment also requires considerable effort for the orientation and fixing of the labeling aggregates, which has a negative financial impact, in particular in the case of frequent aggregate replacement, due to the times required for the resetting.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]From FIG. 1, a part of a labeling machine in frame construction without a labeling aggregate is shown in a perspective view. For a better overview, the carousel which continuously transports the article to be labeled (see FIG. 6) is not depicted. The machine 1 consists substantially of a frame 2 with a rotating bearing 9 for the carousel, which is arranged approximately in the middle of the frame. A ring 4, which covers the periphery at least in part, is rigidly fixed to the frame 2, at a radial separation with respect to the rotating bearing and concentrically with respect to the latter. On the ring 4, a stationary aggregate reception 5 is attached with connection elements 10, to allow rapid replacement of a labeling aggregate 8 (FIG. 2).

[0023]The aggregate reception 5 is a bar-like pipe construction which is open toward the radially external side, which presents four vertical support legs 53 (which can be attached to the floor) at the corners of an imaginary rectangle, and w...

Abstract

A machine for equipping articles with labels, such as vessels or similar items, including at least one carousel which transports the articles, at least one exchangeable labeling aggregate which is arranged on the periphery of the carousel for equipping the articles, where, on the periphery of the carousel, at least one stationary floor-supported aggregate reception for a labeling aggregate is arranged.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]This disclosure relates to a machine for equipping articles.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]Machines are known from DE 197 41 476 A1 for equipping articles of different design. FIG. 1 of this document shows a labeling machine with a table plate, to which a continuously drivable carousel is attached for leading articles to be equipped past labeling aggregates. This table plate, in addition, supports the mentioned labeling aggregates. With this construction, it is time consuming and difficult to exchange labeling aggregates. Moreover, such labeling machines occupy a relatively large space, because of the large table plate.[0003]FIG. 4 of the same document discloses an embodiment example, in which the labeling aggregates are designed as freestanding, exchangeable modules with their own support and an associated drive. To establish the position of the labeling aggregates with respect to the carousel of the machine, the labeling aggregates have to be fixed....
